Pungmul Ongsimi Kalguksu

Pungmul Ongsimi Kalguksu is a local Gangwon-do restaurant in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do. It serves ongsimi kalguksu, a mix of ongsimi (hand-pinched potato dumplings) and buckwheat kalguksu. Sides include buckwheat dumplings, buckwheat jeonbyeong, and sorghum bukkumi. In summer, you can enjoy refreshing buckwheat makguksu. The yeolmu kimchi and mu-mallaengi muchim served as side dishes preserve the authentic taste of Gangwon-do. When you order ongsimi or kalguksu, you are given barley rice in a small bowl as an appetizer. You can mix it with a little yeolmu kimchi and mu-mallaengi, or later add it to the ongsimi broth. Today it is a delicacy, but in the past when there was no rice, it must have been a precious meal. Perhaps for that reason, many elderly customers wait in long lines to eat here. It is near Namchuncheon Station, but there is no separate parking lot. You must use nearby alleys or paid parking lots.
